Six building blocks for the raw material • Table.Briefings

The Commission is pushing ahead with the Raw Materials Initative: yesterday, the first building blocks were presented to the Parliament’s Industry Committee. However, much remains open. A draft of the legislative package should be available by the end of the year.

For months now, Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton has been talking about the „global race to secure resources“ in which Europe must not lag behind.

The Commission intends to present the draft by the end of the year.
